Also re putting oestrogen gel on and it "took away that empty feeling"....... That my friends is a load of old cods wallop. I use oestragel and it takes weeks to kick in when you first start to use it. It has an accumlative effect. Its not like taking an aspirin. Medicine woman is chatting tit I'm afraid.

Also same thing with the testosterone gel, it's accumlative! Some women it can take 3 months to kick in. I really do think it's irresponsible and totally false to post the rubbish she is. It can only be the placebo effect because it can't possibly have worked immediately. She's definitely up and down. I think she talks herself in and out of bad moods.

She’s a complete lunatic. A dangerous one too! Does she not watch herself back & get anxiety at how erratic she is She’s not experimenting “so you don’t have to”, she’s got too much time on her hands, (altho not enough to sort her passport or dogs out ) she’s an addict who has replaced one addiction for another!

It actually is dangerous because if she's using oestrogen without progesterone she will cause no end of problems with her womb. It thickens it and she will end up having to have a hysterectomy! You can't just mess about with this kind of stuff and I think it's sending out a stupid and dangerous message to her followers. I think she must be a nightmare to treat of ypure her doctor because she just won't listen and take advice. She thinks she can self medicate willy nilly. Stupid stupid woman.

I’ve noticed that she’s recommending skincare from a Dr friend. I’ve had a look and the Dr friend seems to have had a hell of a lot of work done??

I'm usually a fan - but these holiday stories are making me anxious. All of the protocols and things she is doing for her health and yet she still can't just sit in the sun and be happy watching her kids I get a bit obsessed with these types of things myself and these stories are making me see it from the other side it feels like it might be draining for her husband.

Exactly this! Bio hacker healthy?..... Errr not!! Miserable uptight erratic over thinking mess!

I hate to agree, but it has made me down to watch. When she said 'i'll have to see what Pippa thinks' I felt sad, she's in a beautiful place with her lovely family and she's desperate to talk to Pippa, it isn't working if you can't go a few days without having to consult Pippa. She always looks so happy when she's running - I'm beginning to wonder if that is the only thing that truly works. All the expensive treatments don't make enough of an impact obviously.

I think it says everything about her state of mind that someone who has been staying in the beautiful countryside, with rolling hills & valleys is lay in bed moaning she needs to find a hotel with a gym cos she needs to at least do an incline walk on a treadmill Idk how Matthew puts up with her. They’re staying in lovely (although completely inappropriate with young kids & as a former alcoholic) hotels but rather than enjoy her time being in the moment, she’s storying for insta & moaning about everything! She’s completely erratic & I can see how she’d make people feel anxious. The fact that she can’t see that all these ‘bio-hacking protocols’, supplements & medication experiments she’s doing are the cause of her mood swings, etc just shows how crazy she is & how far up her own arse she is since ‘her’ book was published

As I'm reading this I'm watching channel 4 " I am Victoria" check it or by Dominic Savage should be called "I am Davinia" my thoughts are with Matthew & her boys.....

Actually this should be renamed "I am menopausal"......... They got it spot on. Not trying to scare anyone but its how it can affect some people. Obviously this has been amplified for a TV show. Davinia is for sure peri menopausal.

I’m the same age as her and have unfortunately entered the peri menopause early. I watched the I am program victoria last night it was utterly amazing. I wanted to smother her in oestrogen gel!

someone above mentioned the individual gels davinia is using not working. I agree - for me it took three months for the oestrogen to work and four for testosterone. (My god that’s good when it kicks in though) The idea a one off application would work seems bizarre based on my experience. I’m fortunate enough to be much better now and many women don’t experience what I have. I’d never even had a day of pmt so this hit me like a ton of bricks - I thought I had some dreadful illness!

I like davinia I thinks she is eccentric and has been through a lot despite her extreme privilege but I wonder why she wouldn’t want to treat her hormones longer term? Why would you want to have to wim hof breathe and sauna sweat yourself out of a terrible day? Why not try not to get in that state in the first place? I wish she’d go and see a hormone specialist rather than these lifestyle gurus.

I take the hormones and do other nice things to support myself like cold swimming and meditation yoga etc. You can do both and she seems to have missed that. I mean I don’t look like her and have the task of losing the weight I piled on when I was in a mess but watching her tormented when she should be on a lovely family holiday seems unnecessary when she has all the means to access those services privately. I really do wish her well and her Instagram is a fun watch but she worries me!

I know right. She's posted again this morning about getting rid of the excess testosterone cos she put some on and smothering herself in oestrogen gel. It's total BS. It literally doesn't work like that. She's after instant gratification, the niacin flushes, the iv infusion, the runners high. She literally cannot play the long game and wait for something to work properly.

And the added bonus of having Meg Matthews as a bestie, who is very knowledgeable and has her own range of stuff. Surprised she's not said anything.

 

[Griggsy39]

The thing with Davinia is,she is always after a buzz. She may be claiming peri-menopause right now,but she has always been like this,since childhood by her own admission. She obviously just feels flat unless she is chasing a high……

I feel so sorry for her. I think she craves the rush that partying/booze/drugs gave her. She needs to see an endocrinologist who can look and work out what she needs. After reading her book it seems like her Dr initially had her drugged up on all sorts so she is probably weary of taking anything again.

It doesn’t matter who she sees, she thinks she knows better. Her prescribing Doctor (Dr Tam) told her the progesterone dosage but instead of a quarter she takes a whole one. She doesn’t understand she’s creating the imbalance which is resulting in her mood swings, PMT, poor motivation, erratic behaviour, etc. I wish someone would reign her in because she’s not (never did IMO) giving good advice, she’s erratic & really quite dangerous lately!

It’s because she has zero understanding of how the body works. She talks about having no dopamine If that were the case she’d be shuffling & pin-rolling with Parkinson’s not taking herself off on a run! I wish she’d take an A&P course because I cringe at the she comes out with. I also can’t understand why her ‘friends’ Dr Tam & Pippa don’t intervene because surely they’re embarrassed for her when she’s chatting Or perhaps it’s as I said previously, she’s really believing the hype since ‘her’ book was published & thinks she knows better than everyone now...

 

[Pixie06]

Just watched "I am Victoria" and throughly enjoyed it. But it really didn't clarify enough that she was menopausal did it. Went to the Dr then had counselling. No mention of it being that.

No it didn't but many many women that are menopausal are mis diagnosed as being depressed and are treated with anti depressants when that's not the problem at all.

I think it's like the emperor's new clothes, they can all see she chatting tit but no one wants to say anything.

I'm sure they are, in fact I think I was looking back. I just felt there should have been another 2 parts, as the storyline was really unclear, especially the ending.

Her book really isn’t as wacky as her insta, it’s quite traditional in some aspects of eat whole foods, speak to your GP and move your body in a way that makes you happy. Her insta seems to promote all these weird and ‘wonderful’ treatments that probably don’t help her at all. She talked about being mis-diagnosed as bipolar but I’m not so sure it was a mis-diagnosis.
